ACF 4650 cu. ft. Colormark covered hopper Produced by Atlas exclusively for the SLHTS using artwork developed and provided by the society. Guy N. Kieckhefer prototype photo, Duluth, 9-21-91 In the period between 1972 and 1981, the Soo Line received a total of 1,084 ACF Centerflow 4650 and 4600 cu. ft. covered hoppers. These cars complete the production of models of all major series of Soo ACF grain hoppers. Others have been provided in previous runs by the SLHTS, Accurail (4600s) and Atlas (4650s). The original Atlas car, now out of production, represents the 1974-built wheat sheaf scheme with lettering provided by the SLHTS. This year's car, manufactured and decorated exclusively for the SLHTS
by Atlas, represents the 1973 Colormark version, the largest series (250)
of ACF Centerflows purchased by the Soo Line. Cars are painted off-white
with green, black and gold lettering. These cars feature thin metal roofwalks
and highly accurate painting and lettering, including lettering on the
slope sheets behind the end bracing! For more information and photos of
all series of Soo Line grain hoppers, see the article by Guy Kieckhefer
in the winter 1999 issue of the SOO.
